This book serves as a general reference guide to language revitalization, written not only for linguists and anthropologists, but also for language activists and community members who believe they should ensure the future use of their languages, despite their predicted loss. Drawing extensively on case studies, it sets out the necessary background and highlights central issues such as literacy, policy decisions, and allocation of resources. Its primary goal is to provide the essential tools for a successful language revitalization program, such as setting and achieving realistic goals, and anticipating and resolving common obstacles. Clearly written and informative, Saving Languages will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in the fate of small language communities around the globe.Language revivalLanguage revivalCase studiesLanguage revival.Language revival417/.7Grenoble Lenore A174920Whaley Lindsay J163028MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959877503321Saving languages4337351UNINA
